“Favorite room Here! We enjoyed all 3 of their rooms, but this one won the cake. It was so much fun and super immersive! It truly felt like we were in the ruins of a mystic temple, threatened by booby traps! The puzzles were really cool and the soundtrack/audio was amazing! Can't say enough good things about it. Very unique room!”

“Such an amazing atmosphere and fun puzzles!! Careful to not overthink some things but others I wish there was a little more direction. Luckily our game master was on top of it delivering hints for clarification! Loved how it started out linear and then bloomed into multiple puzzles where we could split up and work individually! A really fun and tech heavy puzzle”

“Great room and extremely well-done set! We had a great time exploring everything and figuring out the different puzzles. There’s a great variety for all types of thinkers. We struggled with some of the puzzles and needed EIGHT nudges/clues. But we were told the average is 15, so we did really well. Definitely one of my favorites!”

“Paying attention to details and working as a team were key to conquering Wharf of Wonder! From the moment we stepped in, we were fully immersed in the adventure. The puzzles were clever, the set design was amazing, and the surprises kept us engaged the whole time. The attention to detail in the theming truly transported us into the story. The staff were fantastic! They were helpful, friendly, and clearly passionate about creating an amazing escape room experience. Highly recommend for both seasoned escape room enthusiasts and first-timers alike!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
